system clock & ntp sync?

system clock & ntp sync?

Postby dieselbenz on Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:01 am

First of all, I will admit that I am still somewhat living mentally in a KDE world.

How does one tie the system clock in Flux/antiX to an NTP server? I loaded and am running NTPD but have no idea whether system is seeing that or not. Nothing on boot-up or shut-down suggests that it is.

I did some Google research and came up empty. Even searched withing this forum and got nil.

I can do it the "hard way" if necessary, but am looking for an easier path than hand-editing services files. [/quote]

That will help.

I've become somewhat jaded by having a "CLICK HERE TO SYNC YOUR SYSTEM CLOCK TO A SERVER" stuff in KDE and Gnome. Those would be my desktop systems.

Now that I am playing in Fluxbox, I need to return to the Henry David Thoreau mantra of "simplify." I just gotta learn how to do KDE-stuff and still simplify.

Good news is that (1) I love a challenge and (2) I have job that allows me time to pursue said challenge.

I am a geek -- bring on the techie challenge.

:-)
